You are looking at it as savings for the bus operator, not for the passenger. Why stop at one day, add up 90 seconds per trip over the course of a day or over a decade? It still saves an average passenger only 15 seconds from an average 30 or 45 minute trip. Totally insignificant in making trips faster for the passenger which is what it is advertised as.And as for saving money regarding not having to remove coins from the machines, totally insignificant when compared to the costs and maintenance of the fare machines which cost $50,000 each or $100,000 per bus stop, Money that could be spent better elsewhere. And on the Q52/53, the report showed that with the fare machines and exclusive lanes, passengers making trips of three miles saves only three minutes. Again insignificant when you consider the average passenger trip time. |
